An Introduction to Modern Jewish Philosophy by Claire Katz

By Claire Katz Published by I.B. Tauris How Jewish is modern Jewish philosophy? The question at first appears nonsensical, until we consider that the chief issues with which Jewish philosophers have engaged, from the Enlightenment through to the late 20th century, are the standard preoccupations of general philosophical inquiry.
